Lightroom Classic

Is it just me or is anyone else getting the same dialog any time they try to boot their copy of ALRC?  If I tell it "Not now" it just stops, and if I select "Check System" after about a minute it tells me there are no compatibility issues with my system.  OK so why won't it run?   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Bonjour, suis sur Mac OS Ventura 13.7 à jour, LR à jour aussi.Retour de vacances je veux fusionner ma photothèque de vacances sur SSD sur ma photothèque générale sur mon ordi. J'ouvre LR photothèque générale : Fichier- importer à partir d'une autre photothèque, je choisis le fichier Ircat qui est dans un dossier sur mon disque dur ext de voyage. Et j'ai un message : "erreur inconnue".  Quelqu'un a une idée ? Merci de votre attention.   [Moved from 'Lightroom ecosystem' forum to 'Lightroom Classic' forum by moderator]

Updated to v13.5.1 and the RAM usage too much. If do intensive task like HDR or Pano, usage jumps by 6GB or so each time.  The usage then sits there slowly increasing with a approx 8% CPU usage until it hits about 27GB of my 32GB RAM.  It then never releases the memory or caps the usage. LR then slows down and goes very unresposive. Does same thing with and without RTX GPU support. Just had Support Chat / Remote Session and agent investigated everything from GPU, to Catalogue, Cache , Drivers (inc NVIDIA), Window settings etc.  But couldnt fix. In end we reverted back to the previous version of LRC and problem was resolved, the RAM usuage stabilising at around 16GB after a few heavy tasks, with no slow background RAM increase or CPU usage. Was told to raise the issue here (rather than support raising a ticket). Needs fix so I can load the latest again and future versions.....   Windows 11 Latest version/drivers Intel i7 12700K Corsair 32GB Vengance RGB Pro Ram (2x 1

I've shot a wedding with 2 cameras and realised they were out of sync so after importing the photos I edited the Metadata capture date in the Metadata menu in LRC. The adjustment worked wonderfully and all my photos from 2 cameras are now in chronological order. The issue I have now is that this is reflected in LRC only but not in the actual files in Finder. I have saved metadata to files AND ensured that the Catalog Settings > Metadata > EXIF > Write Date Or Time Changes Into Proprietary Raw Files has been checked, however nothing is working. Can I write adjusted capture date metadata to ARW Files or do I have to use a different tool? If so, what tool can I use? Note: I have my photos on Sony RAW files and I'm using the latest version of MacOS and LRC to date. Running on a MacBook Pro M2.

Hello, the Metadata panel of LR Classic shows differing entry fields like "Genre" or "Province" depending on the subset I select. I can select subsets such as "Minimal", "Standard", "IPTC", "Ad-hoc". In the Metadata panel, can I HIDE certain entry fields to see only the fields I actually need? For instance I do need fields from the "IPTC" subset, but would love to hide many fields such as "Genre" and all fields about my postal address. If I switch to the  "Standard" subset instead, there are less IPTC fields, but there are other fields confusing me or missing, such as the "Town" field. In some search, I didn't find a way to hide individual IPTC entry fields to my liking. My only solution for seeing a compact entry mask is to- start first with the multiple-fields "IPTC" subset and- later continue in the much more compact "Standard" subset. But the "IPTC" subset is too full with fields, and "Standard" is too sparse. Any way to hide fields exactly to my liking? I

I have replaced the c drive on my computer.  I was able to have all the files transfered to the new c drive which included a lightroom folder holding all the catalog data.  I'm using windows.  What is the best way to activate the catalog.  When I try to open them in lightroom I don't have any success,

When I open lightroom classic, to perform sorting tasks of the library (around 10,000 photos and videos). Without editing any photo, just viewing it in the library. After a few minutes the computer heats up to the point of firing the fans.Other programs where I can view the same amount of images and videos hardly affect the temperature of the computer, but with Lightroom Classic, it always shoots up.Any idea how I can improve this behavior? The biggest problem is that it drains the battery.  Versión de Lightroom Classic: 13.5Licencia: Creative CloudConfiguración de idioma: es-ESSistema operativo: Mac OS 14Versión: 14.6.1 [23G93]Arquitectura de la aplicación: arm64Cantidad de procesadores lógicos: 16Velocidad del procesador: NAVersión de SqLite: 3.36.0Fuente de alimentación: Batería, 99%Memoria incorporada: 49.152,0 MBMemoria de GPU dedicada que utiliza Lightroom: 222,7MB / 36.864,0MB (0%)Memoria real disponible para Lightroom: 49.152,0 MBMemoria real usada por Lightroom: 9806

hi, because lightroom is terrible, I'm stuck in a mode where the menu bar and all panels have disappeared. To have an interface where this is even possible is just poor and a huge waste of time but for the moment I just need to get back to my main library window. can anyone help? screenshot attachedthanks in advance

I import a new preset in lighroom cc but, sometimes i can not set the amount of the preset. Why the amount adjustment button is not active.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for a software problem!]

Bonjour,Je viens d'installer LRC sur mon nouvel ordinateur sous Windows, comment retrouver mes catalogues, collections et photos notées.Merci 

Hi there.I'm new to this Lightroom and Adobe in general, however I have used a couple of other software to work with RAW photos and all of them allowed me to import/export photos while creating a date-based subforlder system.Is it posible to do the same in LrC? If so, how? I can't seem to find anywhere a prompt list or an option to do so, and I would be very grateful to get some advice so i can keep my workflow.

Hi,I've got a Windows 11 i9 laptop with Lightroom Classic 13.5.1 and whilst browsing photos in the Library, Lightroom just closes unexpectedly (no hanging/crashing per-se - and I can then reopen it, albeit it doesn't open at the same place in the Library).  Ahead of this happening, the fans are working hard and after Lighroom closes, the fans calm down again.  I have an up-to-date graphics card driver and everything else patched to the latest levels.No crash report dialogue box is displayed.Any advice very welcome!Richard.

I’ve been experiencing multiple issues managing my photo library with Lightroom Classic (LrC). These problems occur time to time diring last year, but they have become much more frequent in the latest versions, sometimes happening several times a day now Missing smart previews: When my external hard drive is disconnected (with smart previews generated), I’ve tried exporting low-resolution images, but nothing happens—no reaction at all. I noticed that LrC shows "original photo" instead of "smart preview." After restarting LrC, it works fine for a while. Moving files between folders: When I attempt to move files from one folder to another, nothing happens. After restarting LrC, it works fine for a while. Book module: I tried exporting a PDF book with original photos stored on an external drive. After connecting the drive, some photos are randomly marked as missing, preventing the export. Again, after restarting, it works fine for a while. Flagging and rating: Sometimes, flagging

13.2 was a rocketship on my computer 64gb RAM 2 2tb M.2 drives. 13.3 and 13.3.1 are almost unusable.  Switching from one photo to another in a shoot of about 1000 photos (Catalog has about 150k) takes 20 seconds or more. It was instant in 13.2. Exporting 100 JPGS take 5 times longer at least. Using things like the crop tool in the develop module is so laggy that it is almost impossible to use. It was like liquid glass in 13.2.    Please, fix. Not doing a whole summer like this. Don't make me switch editors.

HI everyone.   my Lighroom won't launch in Win10, I have tried deleting the preferences file under    C:\Users\Khosrow Jalali\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences but no change.   I don't have a backup of my system unforetunately, so it doesn't help.I also tried holding the <Shift> <Alt> keys when launching LRC however nothing happens. Can anyone suggest something?   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

I open lightroom classic, Library Tab, and when i click on any folder with my images, the little bubble at the bottom pops up that says it is "Loading".  That is where it stops.  As i am writing, the image has been trying to load for the past 20 minutes.  I am using a Seagate 5gb external harddrive to store both Lightroom and my images.  i do this so i can switch between my laptop (currently plugged into) and my desktop at home.  i updated everything i could to the latest version, lightroom, windows, etc.  I even ran virus scans of the laptop and external harddrive.  When i import photos from my camera, Canon R5, via external card reader, i also import the embedded JPEG's. Here is the system info for Lightroom and my Laptop system: 

Hello out there,Can anyone help me please. This is driving me nuts. When I close the develop module in LR Classic it returns me to the Louple view (single image of the one I have been editing ) instead of returing to the Grid view. I have accidentally changed something but cannot find how to change this defualty setting. Any clues please? Gareth

After editing  photos in Develop I switch to Library so I could share them. The photo is not like I edited it and not original either. Kind of a cross of the two. This has never happened before.   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hallo zusammenHabe vor ein paar Tagen meinen PC gewechselt. Den Ordner mit dem Lightroombackup habe ich  auf eine externe Festplannte kopiert. Nun kann ich den Backupkatalog auf dem neuen PC nicht öffnen da eine Fehlermeldung  wegen Schreibgestützt kommt. Den gesamten Backupordner kann ich zwar kopieren, den darin enthaltenen Katalog einzeln aber nicht. Öffnen geht schon gar nicht. Rechtsklick und Schreibschutz entfernen klappt leider nicht.Falls hilfreich hier mein System:Win 11 Pro, Intel i9  14900k, RTX 4080S, 32GB Ram Kennt jemand das Problem und hat eine Lösung dazu? Die Bearbeitungen der letzten 5 Jahre wären einfach dahin  sonst.

Hola, El problema que tengo es que ahora cuando quiero importar mis fotos desde un disco externo a Lr, me sale un cuadro de dialogo muy estrechito . No sé como volver a la forma anterior, ya que ni siquiera me sale el margen izquierdo para buscar  mis fotos a importar, y visualizarlas.Alguien más con ésto?Gracias.

I am first going to describe my problem is as few words but as much detail as possible 🙂 I will then comment or update to include whatever system info might be helpful to help you help me. Thank. you in advance for your help/time.    Several months ago I started having issues exporting out of Lightroom Classic. I would start the export of jpg files and it would act like it was starting but never actually do anything. Then I started having issues importing as well. I have been using the same catalog which has 600,000+ images, all sync'd with the cloud.    Long story short, after several support calls trying all the usual fixes, the only thing that seems to work is to create a new catalog and NOT sync it with my existing cloud files. As soon as I do that, my problems creep into the new catalog as well. Not right away but as the numbers of sync'd images grows, so do my problems. One helpful Adobe support person told me to pause my sync, whcih actually DOES

Hallo,ich benutze LrC und Nik Collection. Hier am liebsten das Nik HDR.Dazu mache ich immer 3er Belichtungsreihen, die ich dann exportiere nach Nik. Dabei wird dann eine neue Datei angelegt, die ich dann extern bearbeiten kann und wenn ich speichere, lande ich ich wieder in LrC.Allerdings erstellt er für jedes dieser Bilder eine eigene Sammlung. Ich will das deaktivieren. Ich will einfach nach dem Speicher wieder in dem Ordner landen, aus dem heraus ich den Export gemacht habe. Wie könnte  das gehen?

Hello, I want to be able to work with my Lightroom catalog (LRC) on my laptop AND iMac. Currently, the catalog is located in my picture folder on my iMac. If I copy the LRC catalog to an SSD drive, what would I do with the catalog on my iMac>pictures folder? The images are on external hard drives. What is the best workflow for me to work on the go (using my laptop) and minimize confusion?   Thank you in advance for your expertise, Cheryl

boa noite a todos, o meu lightroom classic nao dispoe no painel a opcao de hsl\cor, ja desisntalei, ja actualizei, nao sei se é alguma funcao quw tenho desativada, inclusive ja procurei ajuda e nao encontro nada. alguem me pode ajudar? obrigado

My Lightroom Classic has been stuck syncing over 300 photos forever.  I initiated a chat with support and was instructed to try to make changes to one of the photos and then resync and it informed me that the file was damaged, so I was not able to edit it.  I'm thinking that that might be the case with all of them. I have confirmed that photos sync to iCloud from Lightroom Mobile, but they do not sync to my desktop. I did generate a diagnostic report but don't know how to reach tech support to assist me with this issue.
